Channel Islands Twin - FCS Compatible, Hexcore. A high-performance twin fin template from Channel Islands, featuring Hexcore construction for a lively, responsive feel. This original CI twin dates back to the early 1980s and is looser than a traditional Mark Richards-style twin, delivering excellent speed with a freer, more skatey turning radius. Run it as a pure twin for maximum freedom, or pair it with a small trailer center fin to create a loose-feeling thruster-style setup.

Fin Construction: Hexcore

Designer Bio: Merrick's fin design philosophy emphasizes controlled flex and responsiveness paired with practical hydrodynamics, creating the legendary Channel Islands FRP fins with moderate base width, balanced rake, and flat foil construction. His fins—engineered across thruster, 2+1, and alternative configurations—remain the most versatile and commercially dominant fin templates in modern surfing.
